THE EXCHANGE SCHEME 2013

摘要

If the success of the Scheme is measured by the number of plants that were sent out, then Messrs Brooksby, Earle, Talens and Thurland, with my own contribution, must be rated five stars. At least 1,500 plants were lovingly unpotted, cleaned, gift-wrapped and distributed to several dozen recipients. In fact Dr Earle on his own sent out well over 600 plants, plus seed, and successfully penetrated even China*. But perhaps the greater success will be felt in the long run when growers who are enthused bytheir packets of freebies will be buying lots of seed and plants and proudly building up their collections.
